What is hindering the development and uptake of innovations in the water sector? Do legal, technical and political barriers and bottlenecks exist? How can they be addressed?

These are the questions that the EIP Water Report addresses in its newly published edition ‘Barriers and bottlenecks to water innovation’. An ad-hoc group of the EIP Water Task Force led by WssTP, SusChem and the Industry Expert Group has analysed and prioritised the barriers and bottlenecks to innovation in the water sector in Europe and abroad. Five priority actions have been identified as well as roadmaps for each will be drafted and agreed upon by April 2014. The diagnosis is available free of charge on the EIP Water Marketplace.
